Easy Poached Eggs with Caramelized Onions

For as long as I can remember, my mama has always prepared poached eggs with sautéed onions on top. The buttery caramelized onions give the plain poached egg such a nice flavor. I discovered that dropping the egg into a small bowl and slowly slipping it into the simmering water gave me the best results.

Ingredients:

6 eggs

1/2 large onion, chopped

4-5 tbsp butter

1 tbsp vinegar

water

salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat and add the chopped onion. Season the onions with salt and saute until it becomes translucent and slightly browned.

2. Meanwhile, fill a skillet with about 1 inch of water and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Bring the water to a boil. Before dropping the eggs in, bring the water to a simmer. Drop an egg into a small bowl and slowly in one fluid motion slip the egg into the water. Let the egg poach for 2-4 minutes, depending on how runny you like it. Repeat this step with every egg.

3. Once the egg is poached, remove with a slotted spoon. Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste and top with the sauteed onions. Serve immediately. Garnish with freshly chopped dill, if desired.
